Plot[]
Hawkman learns from scientist Professor Barnes that there is a danger from deep space that threatens Earth. Along with his pet bird Skreal, Hawkman takes his star cruiser to the planet Pluto. Warlord Kobarah and his soldiers have a massive laser weapon that can fire a destructive beam of energy towards Earth. It is his intent to soften up Earth for a potential invasion. Hawkman fights Kobarah's goons and raids the observatory where he destroys the turbine that powers the laser. However, this sets off a chain reaction that threatens to detonate the facility. Hawkman uses the laser components of his claws to slice through the wall. Grabbing Kobarah, he flies to freedom as the building explodes. Hawkman tells him that he is now going to take him to Earth to face justice.
